SHSJ in National Finals of Milo BEST
The Sacred Heart School Jesuit (SHSJ) dives into action today as it represents the Visayas in the Passerelle division of the national finals of the BEST Center SBP/Passerelle Twin Tournament sponsored by Milo at the University of San Agustin Gym in Iloilo City.
Buoyed by its undefeated run in 12 games dating back to the Cebu leg and the Visayas Regional finals, the Eagles are seeking a place in history to become the first SHSJ team to ever win a national championship in this tournament. Learning from its bridesmaid finish in the Visayas Finals last year when it had to make do with only 14 players, the Eagles are seeking no less than the championship.
“La Salle will be the team to beat, but we’re ready for them and the other schools as well. We’re well-prepared and everyone is in tip-top shape. We’re just asking for the prayers and support of everyone back home,” Rasmo said upon their departure for Iloilo yesterday.
SHSJ will be facing the different regional champions from all over the country. Representing Metro Manila is pre-tournament favorite De La Salle Greenhills. The other regional champions are Don Bosco Pampanga (Luzon) and Sacred Heart of Jesus Montessori of Cagayan de Oro (Mindanao).
Daryl Nazareno and Jerry Jan Seno are expected to lead the attack for the Eagles, with Gabe Branzuela orchestrating the SHSJ attack. Also expected to step up are big men and role players Borgy de la Cruz, Adrian Muller and Justin Yu. Accompanying them is a tight-knit group of family members who have also made the trip to Iloilo to support the team. SHJS Director Fr. Ernesto Javier is also expected to join the team later today.
The format of the national finals is a single round robin elimination phase with the top two teams clashing for the championship. The Eagles play two games today, and another tomorrow morning to wrap up the elimination round. The championship game will be played late afternoon tomorrow.
